What if I already have a home emergency plan or a home care plan elsewhere?

We are delighted you are considering switching to a '24/7 Home Repair' Package, which is quick and easy to do. All you have to do is call your current provider to quit, and we’ll have you set up on one of our Care Packages in a matter of minutes. Sometimes you can cancel your direct debit if you don't want to have to call your existing provider.

What happens once I have taken out my plan?

If you are switching from another provider. Once you have signed up, your care plan starts immediately. We will send you an email confirmation about the Care Package you’ve chosen, and our card provider will send you an email informing you about your direct debit details.

If you are new to home care plans. Once you have signed up, we will need to come out to check that the boiler is working well and is safe. If all is good we will complete an annual service at the same time and you are good to go. On the rare occasions that it is not safe, you might need to pay for some repairs to bring the boiler up to standard (or you can cancel).

If a price increase ever happens, we’ll let you know at least a month in advance, and we will let you know why. You can cancel for free it this happens.
